Browns CB Greg Newsome Tweets (Then Deletes) Pushback Over Northwestern Head Coach Firing: ‘Coach Fitz Is A Great Man’

Current Cleveland Browns CB and Northwestern alumni Greg Newsome has been doing a lot of tweeting. And a whole lot of deleting.

Newsome has been (temporarily) sharing his thoughts on the scandal at Northwestern University. Yesterday, longtime head coach Pat Fitzgerald was officially fired by the university after further investigation and consideration into the allegations regarding hazing and misconduct by the Wildcats’ football team. Initially, Fitzgerald was suspended for two weeks. But the school’s local paper published an article with more allegations, including members of the football team accused of sexual misconduct in its hazing.

Monday evening, school president Michael Schill released this statement, announcing Fitzgerald’s termination.
